<h2>Translating Sentences into Equations</h2>
A key part of this is recognizing certain words to change into operations or numbers:
- <em>quotient</em> = divide
- <em>three more</em> = add 3
- <em>'a/the number' </em>= use a variable (in this case, it's <em>w</em>)
We're given:
- Three more than the quotient of a number and 7 equals 6
⇒ 'the quotient of a number and 7' tells us we divide <em>w</em> by 7: - Three more than
equals 6
⇒ 'three more than' means we add 3 to the fraction: equals 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use .
We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.
Say we have the equation . Our goal is to find the value of
. <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.
We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.
We now know the value of since it’s on one side of the equation.
